So I'll probably get to watching the Super J Cup 95 tomorrow on my constant jr. heavyweight spree (almost into 1996 now, woohoo), and although I've seen it a couple times already, I remember pretty much nothing from the Ohtani/Dragon 1/4 final match. It may be because it's been a couple years since I last saw the event, but to have almost no recollection of that specific match seems weird to me.

For anybody that's seen the show (and everybody NEEDS to), what's the general consensus on that match? I know it's not as good as their classic J Crown match a year later, but these 2 could have pulled out at least ***3/4 surely... Why the fuck can't I remember?!

A wrestling match is like a balanced diet. The basics are carbs, keeping you going. Armdrags may not be the highlight, but they're key to the development. Dairy is emotion and crowd interaction, like bones, they strengthen the match, and in there absense, the it will fall apart. Meat is moves like suplexes and finishers. They’re cool, but if you rely on them you’d be unhealthy, and the matches unwatchable. Mat work is fruits and vegetables. We may not like them, but some is sweet chain wrestling. Last is spots and indy MoVEz~!, your sugars and fats. You can't just eat chocolate, and thus you need to do more than flips and head drops to get above ****.

"I pledge allegiance... to the greatness
Of the conqueror who stands before me
And to his dominance; For which I stand
One Cenation; Under John
Now divisible
With no more hustle, loyalty or respect for all!"
